VARSITY BASKETBALL BRINGS NEW EXCITEMENT AND PRIDE TO LOARA B lllll r -s TWO WORDS THAT ACCURATELY DESCRIBE THIS YEAR ' S VARSITY BAS- KETBALL TEAM ARE COMPETITIVENESS AND CLASS. UNDER THE GUID- ANCE OF HEAD COACH TOM MEYLOR AND ASSISTANT COACHES LUKE HARRISON AND JOE MORENO, THE PLAYERS DISPLAYED THESE QUALI- TIES THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. RELYING ON QUICKNESS AND COURT SENSE, THE SAXONS DEFEATED NINTH-RANKED SAVANNA, ANAHEIM, FALLBROOK, LA HABRA, AND EL DORADO. SENIORS PAUL PLETTINCK AND TED BUCHANAN, TWO OF THE TEAM ' S OUTSTANDING PLAYERS, WERE THE LEADERS AND TOP SCORERS. SEN- IOR KOREY KOWATA LED THE DEFENSE WITH HIS AGGRESSIVE PLAYING, AND ARA AMERKHANIAN PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN HIS STARTING CENTER POSITION SENIOR JIM DELEHOY GAVE REMARKABLE PERFORMANCES AS AN INSIDE PLAYER, AND BOB PATANELLA ' S SPEED AND EXCELLENT PASS- ING WERE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE OFFENSE. SENIOR GUARDS KOI- CHI MATSUKUBO AND RON HARDING LEFT THEIR OPPONENTS SPELL- BOUND WITH THEIR DEADLY OUTSIDE SHOOTING, AND RANDY ONISHI ' S INTENSE DEFENSE WAS A THREAT TO ALL OPPOSITION. STUNNING PER- FORMANCES WERE TURNED IN BY JUNIOR ADRIAN OLIPHANT, AND FRESHMAN TES WHITLOCK THRILLED THE CROWDS WITH HIS GAME-WIN- NING SHOOTING AND DAZZLING OFFENSIVE MOVES. THE SAXONS AGREE-IT WAS AN INTENSE AND VERY EXCITING SEASON. 10C t DSkerboll
